The resolution declares an emergency regarding the need to approve Modifications Nos. 4, 5, and 6 to Contract No. CW88823 with Mansfield Oil Company of Gainesville, Inc. It authorizes payment for goods and services received and to be received under this contract. The modifications are necessary to ensure the continuation of vital services provided by Mansfield Oil, as they will increase the contract's value beyond $1 million within a 12-month period, which requires Council approval.

Specifically, Modification No. 4 was executed on November 22, 2024, allowing for a partial option of option year 3 for $1 million, while Modification No. 5 extended this period through March 19, 2025, for the same amount. Modification No. 6 further exercised the remainder of option year 3, increasing the total contract amount by $4.3 million. The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that without Council approval, Mansfield Oil cannot be compensated for services rendered beyond the $1 million threshold from November 19, 2024, to June 30, 2025. The resolution is set to take effect immediately following its adoption.
